TL;DR
This study examines how diabetes affects pyrazinamide drug levels in Korean and Indonesian tuberculosis patients, suggesting higher doses for certain groups to improve treatment.
Contribution
The study introduces a population pharmacokinetics model to optimize pyrazinamide dosing for TB patients with diabetes.
Findings
Diabetes significantly increases pyrazinamide clearance in both Korean and Indonesian patients.
Higher PZA doses (1000–1250 mg) are recommended for patients under 40 kg and older patients with diabetes to achieve therapeutic targets.
No significant interethnic differences in pyrazinamide pharmacokinetics were observed.
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), a common comorbidity in tuberculosis (TB) patients, can alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) of TB drugs. Additionally, clinical and demographic differences may contribute to interethnic PK variability. However, current WHO-recommended doses for pyrazinamide (PZA) do not account for those factors. We aimed to evaluate factors related to interindividual variability (IIV) and interethnic differences in the PK of PZA between Korean and Indonesian patients with TB. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and PZA concentrations obtained from hospitals in both countries were used for model establishment. Population PK models were developed using the nonlinear mixed-effect method. A Monte Carlo simulation was performed sequentially to evaluate optimal PZA dosing strategies. A one-compartment model with allometric scaling adequately described the PK of PZA. Internal…
